Lantek Systems’ Flex3d Tubes helps make tube cutting more flexible

Lantek Systems’ Flex3d Tubes is an intuitive software program that allows precise cutting of tubular parts. Available within the Lantek Manager and Integra software, the program seamlessly integrates with different types of tubular geometry import tools such as SAT and IGES. Additionally, programmers can import 3D design files from SolidWorks, Solid Edge, and STEP files.

Once the file is imported, users can create different cutting programs for tube shapes and profiles of all sizes using the software’s Toolpath Smart Designer (TSD) machining and designing tool. They can use the parametric system to change operation values such as length and diameter and create original designs directly in the software.

Programmers have full control over cutting sequence and direction, including the ability to cut different faces into the tube. Predefined machining strategies can be applied to all holes based on their position in the profile, allowing the programmer to nest multiple profiles and parts from the same tube stock.
